Peter Latimer was Morrissey's role model?

Dylan Jones claims in his article for Mail Online, that the character of 'Pansy' Peter Latimer who starred in Roll on Four O' Clock, a 1970 TV play based in a Manchester School, not only influenced Morrissey but many 'emo' figures after him, as the archetype of the Neurotic Boy Outsider:

...Colin Welland had it about right.

The star of Roll On Four O’Clock, Welland’s 1970 TV play about the staff and pupils of a Manchester Secondary Modern, was a teenage outcast called 'Pansy' Peter Latimer.

Wearing blue jeans, a fawn roll-neck sweater, a blond fop fringe and a black leather jacket with ‘Pete’ written on the back in round silver studs, Latimer was the school oddball – tormented, bullied and relentlessly beaten up.

It's not difficult to see where Morrissey drew his inspiration from - it's surprising that 'Pansy' Peter Latimer hasn't turned up on the cover of one of his records

'Latimer, he’s a special case,' says one teacher.

'He’s not a bad lad,' says...

Young The Giant review in The Observer references Morrissey

The album, and Morrissey's endorsement, was slated in the Observer yesterday:

Young the Giant: Young the Giant – review by Paul Mardles (2 of 5 stars)

As his regard for bands such as the long-forgotten Bradford and the thuggish Cockney Rejects attests, Morrissey has never been the greatest judge of talent. The latest recipients of his praise are Young the Giant, a California five-piece whose derivative indie rock is as tame as much of Mozzer's own recent work. Sometimes they sound like an anaemic Coldplay; at others they're a sweatier version of the Shins. Frontman Sameer Gadhia has a distinctive voice but, aside from the radiant "Apartment", even he can't furnish Young the Giant's debut with a spirit that is unmistakably their own
